Reflocking doesn't change the tree at all. It changes the shape and
firmness of the padding between the horse and the tree. It can only be
done properly on a good quality English saddle -- western saddles don't
have the same type of construction.
It IS a legitimate and time-honored way to adjust an English saddle.
Make sure you find a saddler who is experienced in reflocking a saddle
to correctly fit the horse -- the process is more than just "poking
stuffing in."

idea you could reflock a saddle and change the tree. Doesn't
sound possible to me....
